  How Osmosis and Minerals Like Salt, Potassium & Magnesium Hydrate Your Body and Lower Blood Pressure How Osmosis and Minerals Like Salt, Potassium & Magnesium Hydrate Your Body and Lower Blood Pressure Did you know that drinking water alone isn’t enough to stay hydrated? True hydration happens when water enters your cells—and that depends on a natural process called osmosis and a balance of essential electrolyte minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. In this post, you'll learn how osmosis works , how minerals help hydrate the body at a cellular level, and how they work together to regulate blood pressure naturally . Diagram outlining the process of Osmosis. What Is Osmosis? Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane (like your cell walls) from an area of low solute concentration (more water) to an area of high solute concentration (less water). The goal is to balance the concentration of particles —like salt and minera...
